Re: does anyone know
Very cool, but why do you think they're all deaf? It didn't say anything in the info.

Re: does anyone know
Friends,
It's thursday I am off to Avebury to attend the nexus meditation. I'll only be back on monday. In the meantime keep the forum warm , call back your friends if you are missing them.. Open a thread for you to speak with them and let them know they count for you... That's what I did back when forum went on subscription as many had gone. And many came back. May you all do well. Always with you within the LOVE flow. Kindness mudra |

As for DMT I can't quite speak on that because It is illegal in my state, but if you look for it, it will show up eventually. However, I hear that it is easily made from a bark. |

Re: does anyone know
I think the four elongated fingers are just 'amplifications' for the stage, so they can be seen more easily by the audience. Guan Yin is revered in China! Her appearance is varied. This thousand arm and eye performance is very cool...
"One Buddhist legend presents Guan Yin as vowing to never rest until she had freed all sentient beings from samsara, reincarnation. Despite strenuous effort, she realized that still many unhappy beings were yet to be saved. After struggling to comprehend the needs of so many, her head split into eleven pieces. Amitabha Buddha, seeing her plight, gave her eleven heads with which to hear the cries of the suffering. Upon hearing these cries and comprehending them, Avalokitesvara attempted to reach out to all those who needed aid, but found that her two arms shattered into pieces. Once more, Amitabha came to her aid and appointed her a thousand arms with which to aid the many." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guan_Yin Last edited by no caste; 05-08-2009 at 08:01 AM. |

Re: does anyone know
Watch some of the links to the right. This is a specific troupe of deaf dancers.
Here's a marvelous Rueyters TV interview with them and how they do what they do. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3du7...eature=related alys |
